Spokes II

Urban landscape. Another crop of a water tower. This shot justhappens to be a 100 percent crop. Since no timer or remote was usedat the moment of capture, and since no sharpening has been applied, itmay appear a bit soft (even though a tripod was used). It certainlyis at the limits of resolution as shot. I don't know how much moreresolution might have been gained by using a remote and mirror lockupand reducing the ISO (accidentally left at 400 from an earlier shot). This was shot as a JPEG and was not a serious test of the limits ofthe sensor. Comments welcome.

Great shot!

 

Great Camera coupled with a great lens on the front and very competent photographer at the back = a great result even at the 100 % crop, and the fact that no sharpening has been applied is even more impressive.  It all adds weight to my pondering over a purchase of a D800.

Compliments!

Thanks for the compliment, Alf.  I really cannot say enough good things about this camera.  So far, I have had absolutely no problems of any kind.

Hi Lannie,

I have looked at all three of your water tower shots using the Nikon D800E.

If you have a good copy of the Nikkor 80-200 ED mm lens, then shooting at F/2.8 is going to provide the highest resolution possible with this camera. However, my best 80-200 ED Nikkor still limits what the Nikon D800E can yield. Using a quality tripod, and mirror lock up are very useful in obtaining as much detail from the setup, too.

All of your examples are good, though.

Best Regards my friend,

Mike

Thanks, Mike.  I will definitely try some wider apertures and MLU.
